that is a TWRP thing. nothing to do with the superwipe. just reboot recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
I get a status 1 error when flashing this zip with CWM. Any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] mrjaydee82:
Very nice... Thank you!
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Oh no I see coming already. Flame wars in 3D. At least I got in before the "why would you wipe 3x? It makes no sense once is enough."

Thanks for the work, I for one will use it and not try and argue against it.

Edit: still have error after reboot twr. Is it still doing it's job if it has the error?
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
if you get it after then its doing its job. anyone else getting this error?
[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
I have two questions, if anyone could help, I'd appreciate it.

1)

I don't understand the difference between this and the format menu that's already in TWRP recovery?

2)

Which specific 0's and 1's in the 'correct blocks' are impervious to a single wipe?

I'd love to know, so I copy them and use them to protect my bank account # from my wife during her shopping trips.

Thanks!

^^^^ Did I call it or what?
[HTC EVO 3D] dfskevinohyeah:


There is no real difference it is more if flashable zip for us lazy users and for us conscious users who want to know that everything is wiped off before we flash a ROM and yeah you called it ^^^
[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
It didn't take a magician :)...

Of course it was inevitable, and I guess I just wanted to be first, lol.

Shall we begin?

Edit: Anyone ever read this? It can help with the whole concept of wiping more than once...

Yes. You did. I was just about to type "Oh Jesus, don't let mazook see this." Then, well.......you know the rest.

How about getting to the heart of the code:

Why use this:

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p21"); ui_print("Formatting SYSTEM"); format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p23"); ui_print("Formatting DATA"); format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p24"); ui_print("Formatting CACHE"); format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25"); ui_print(""); ui_print(""); ui_print("Formatting BOOT"); format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p21"); ui_print("Formatting SYSTEM"); format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p23"); ui_print("Formatting DATA"); format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p24"); ui_print("Formatting CACHE"); format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25"); ui_print(""); ui_print(""); ui_print("Formatting BOOT"); format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p21"); ui_print("Formatting SYSTEM"); format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p23"); ui_print("Formatting DATA"); format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p24"); ui_print("Formatting CACHE"); format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25"); ui_print(""); ui_print(""); ui_print("Formatting BOOT");

When THIS:

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p21"); ui_print("Formatting SYSTEM"); format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p23"); ui_print("Formatting DATA"); format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p24"); ui_print("Formatting CACHE"); format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25"); ui_print(""); ui_print(""); ui_print("Formatting BOOT");

is enough?

It also happened to me.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I forgot you say in my earlier post, Thank You very very much for this!! I always used Virus' Superwipe before flashing a rom on my Evo 4G. For those wondering; with this you just flash in Recovery and everything is wiped, instead of going in to the Wipe menu and doing it all manually.

For those complaining about how it wipes, instead of complaining why not make your own Wiping Tool and release it for everyone to use? Then everyone can be happy and choose if they want the tool they decide to use to wipe either once or three times...... End if argument

[HTC EVO 3D] Los Altos:
So if im getting "E: error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip status 1" its just a TWRP thing and I shouldnt worry about it as long as it shows up after the wipe?
[HTC EVO 3D] d0cx:
Even though I'm getting that same error after the wipe, it should work. You should not worry about it, and if all else fails, just flash your ROM as usual as it will wipe the partitions before writing to them. At least SteelROM does that.
[HTC EVO 3D] kenneu:

this just blew up my fone almost bricked it. it deleted boot, system, data, then when it got to cache, it errored and aborted. couldnt flash anything in recovery. the android robot and red x were in the background. i did a battery pull and phone would only go to bootloader. had to flash twrp via fastboot, and then i flashed synergy :mad:

was on the cwm from alpharevx btw and shooter 3ds rls2

[HTC EVO 3D] Anon9mouz:
Cheesy ur silly bro
[HTC EVO 3D] EniGmA1987:
This fails in the exact same spot for me. However I can still flash things fine from recovery. Basically I was using this to wipe everything but cache since it cant wipe the cache, and then cleaning the cache and dalvik cache myself with CWM. Then after that I flash a new ROM.

Interesting thing though, all the ROMs I flashed had a lot of crashing problems until I flashed a ROM that doesnt remove a ton of stuff. Once the phone was running perfectly on a ROM that doesnt remove a lot, I am then able to go and flash the other ROMs that had a lot of problems and they work fine again.
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
both JoelZ9614 and I both went over this script and everything is correct. It was doing this occasionally on the previous versions as well. im not sure how it is written into recovery to wipe the cache partition. i will rewrite the /cache format using a different method and see if that accomplishes anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] EniGmA1987:
Thanks, Ill test if it wipes better or not as soon as it is up for download.
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
changed the way the script formats CACHE. i did it about 20x in a row on my phone and it never got an error. it should be good to go now. check op for new DL
[HTC EVO 3D] hchavarria:
After running this how can I revert back to my stock partition tables? i get an error every time i try to clear cache through recovery after running superwipe.
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
there is no need to clear cache after running superwipe. but i get no errors upon doing so. just reboot recovery and it should be fine
[HTC EVO 3D] hchavarria:
Basically I get the following message:

I basically get an error when trying to clear out /sd-ext
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Just for the record, if you're getting a "sideload" error or aren't able to format the androidsecure file, go to the Mounts menu and make sure /sdcard is mounted. NOT Toggle USB, that's different.

Run the SuperWipe again and it works perfectly.
[HTC EVO 3D] klubhead:
does this work with Clockwork? i tried it earlier today but got an abort error after about 5 seconds.. it looked like it was going just fine, then all of a sudden stopped with the error. o_0
[HTC EVO 3D] JReeq:

[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
thats nothing. you dont have an /sd-ext unless you made one. its not an error its just telling you there isnt one
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:
the main problem with the sideload error was when formatting the CACHE block. its the way twrp was written. it doesnt work correctly even with AssassinsLament new updater-script because of this.

[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
Is there any way to take out the part that deletes the miscellaneous files? One thing I noticed is that it deletes the settings configuration file for TWRP, so it reverts to default every time.

Not a huge deal, it's just that you can't use that feature of TWRP.

Haven't had my coffee this morning, so I'll use that as my excuse ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] thos25:
not sure if this has been discussed or not (I didnt see it), but I am on Hboot 1.50and unlocked via HTC.

As I'm sure many of you are aware, HTC method requires booting into recovery via fastboot/pc. However, after using superwipe, it automatically re-booted my phone into recovery. Even though I initially used fastboot to get into recovery, once it re-booted itself, I wasnt sure if it would allow me to flash correctly. I powered down (had to pull battery) and then used fastboot to get back into recovery to be safe.

Has it been determined if the re-boot after using superwipe prevents proper flashing with Hboot 1.5?
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
I wouldn't mind knowing this as well. Good question.
[HTC EVO 3D] t3project:

Just flash the .zip in recovery, it'll be located whereever you placed it on your sdcard. The script will take care of itself after that. It won't replace your recovery, simply wipe the hell out of your system/data/cache/boot.

Couple issues after updating to jt's Vanilla GB tonight (link). I used the 2.3.5 vanilla GB gapps found in post #5 (gapps_update-2.3.5-gb-20110725-signed)

Flashed GB, loaded, rebooted recovery, flashed gapps, and when it starts the next time, I get the google account login which gives me the option to load some apps though not all. Those download, but then when I go to market, it doesn't show any of my other apps.

It grabs my gmail contacts, but not any numbers.

I have a titanium backup with everything (apps, data) but I'm not sure if I should use it

I also have myBackup with everything but it could not find the backup after I manually downloaded the app from the market, and searched my sd card.

Also, maybe I should put this elsewhere, but after one call, the volume does seem to be pretty low.

(I'd post this in the dev thread, but I'm too new)

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] aroldo:
Last month, buy a ViewPad 10s. Great device. Thanks to this forum I can install the market and install many things. Until one day, after seeing a movie (Mobo player) I started missing the touch screen. I could not even unlock it!. I turned it off and set aside. The next day started as if nothing had happened. But with the passing of a few days, began to fail often, and not resolved by switching off. Until today that is totally screwed. Not react as it should, and I can not access at all to any of the functions. Here's a short video of what I'm telling you.

(search in youtube "viewpad 10s touch screen problem", the one from chgalvez user)

I've tried calibrate.ini, and almost all .apk calibration apps that are in the forum. I've try as last chance to upgrade with an official rom from viewsonic(1.09), but dont' work neither.

Anyway I think I can't prove anything more as the touchscreen almost no response at all.

Anyone have an idea if there a method to calibrate from the outside, with a USB cable or something?

thanks in advance and sorry for my english...
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Wish I could help, but you are posting in the VPAD7 forum - the hardware & firmware are different - you need to go to the Viewsonic Gtablets forum (10" screen size) as folks over there should be better able to help you.

[Defy General] drmambo:
greetings!

Just recently i got a Motorola Defy, and to be honest the top power button seems a little wimpy.

i have downloaded two apps so far to circumvent the power key;

Tap Tap App and Fix Broken Power Button.

the following problems occur when attempting to power the phone down.

In Fix Broken Power Button the widget is completely inoperative.

in Tap Tap App the screen will flash dark, then immediately come to the lock screen.

i believe this has to do with the Defy's internal workings, and have seen other people have similar problems,

see http://xdaforums.com/arch...t-1017269.html

is there hope for my phone?

thank you.
[Defy General] hackergnome:
Get it replaced...
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
All buttons on the Defy are "wimpy wimpy" because they are NOT the actual buttons, they are just a plastic cover over your real buttons so your phone doesn't die if you press one underwater.

The real buttons are sealed, otherwise moving them, taking pics with physical buttons or doing anything while your phone is under water would lead to water leaks inside.

About the issue with soft-poweroff, its a known issue related to how to shutoff screen on the Defy works, I dont know if any dev solved the issue :)
[Defy General] drmambo:
hi, thank you for the quick reply!

do you have a defy yourself? I ask because my power key is jiggly and feels weak compared to the volume keys.

having an alternate method of off/on' ing my phone would make me feel a lot more secure.

what kind of coding would I need to learn in order to learn the cause of the broken widget and fix it?

you mention using a physical key to take pictures with, but there is no such button on the defy. is there a way to map a camera button to, say, a volume key?

have you ever submerged your phone in water? I want to take under water pictures but am apprehensive to try.

why is there no longer a cake in my work urinal?

i'm sure you'll need plenty of time to pontificate on these questions, if anyone has any insight on anything mentioned in this post, please let me know!

thanks!
[Defy General] nosklo:
Yes. I have a defy, and my volume keys don't feel much different from the power key. Maybe yours is a little loose...

Some camera applications allow that configuration. The one that comes with the CyanogenMod7 rom (which I'm using ;) ) allows it for sure.

Yes, I have submerged it while recording movies and it works fine. Make sure your rubber covers are in place and not loose, specially the mini usb one. Don't try to use the touch screen while wet, it doesn't work. The mic and the speaker will work again when dry.
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
- Yeah I own a Defy, and I really love my phone (pretty much after installing CM7, is just amazing)

- yep is normal the power button feeling lose, is just like I said, those are not the real buttons, just covers that presses the actual buttons under them.

If im not wrong you would need to learn the Android API and JAVA :) to do it yourself.

- About the physical key, that is easy to obtain, you can either use ButtonreMapper or search the Defy Photo app, is a really cool and simple camera that lets ya take pictures using the vol keys.

- Yep too, ive went into the pool with my Defy, took pictures, videos and more underwater. Just be SURE the ribbons that cover the USB and the audio jack are clean. Dust, fibers and other stuff could get between the cover and the phone and leak water in.

to this question: "why is there no longer a cake in my work urinal?"

whaa? :P
